Looking for racist subtext in Dr Who… Okay.

It was a good mix of genres. We saw Wrath of Khan and Alien tropes taken back from space and put onto a cold war submarine. With Russians. And New Romantics.

When Joss Whedon did these things, he nailed them. They didnt quite nail this.

I would recommend Cook Islands. An extremely satisfying win, the introduction of Ozzy, Parvati, Penner, loyalty, betrayl. I love that season.Strategy. Unprecedented physical dominance. Great stuff.  Palau is painful, I think. Like watching the cool kids roam about unhindered in a sense of unchallenged entitlement. The

Parvatis tribe on Cook Islands kept voting out anyone who assumed leadership, and were proud of it. Then Yul and Ozzy showed them the door.

If the alliances stay as they are, ie, The Specialist, Corinne, Malcomb and Andrea vs Eric Brandon and Brenda, then Cochran and Dawn have the absolute power in the early game. They could alternate between those two alliances, voting out, say, Phillip next, then Brenda, then Malcomb etc. I think Cochran or Dawn could

So Abed has learnt to deal with the real world by internalising the study group, giving him 7 archetypes from which to draw. Between them all, he can choose the appropriate persona to get him through most situations. It is still a work in progress, obviously, but it should progress faster now that he seems to be aware

I am not sure that Brandon saw through Andrea. He probably felt attracted to her and thus she is The Devil.

If Kittycat had listened to Troyzan, instead of trying to get the popular girls to like her, it could have been interesting.

The kids at the cool kids table seem to have no idea how much most people hate them, which is part of the reason I always hated them. 

DC tv shows and movies seem ashamed to be like the comics in general, like they want the Charmed audience, but not the Buffy one. I love that Slade was introduced, and they had the costume, but for some reason it was on Dr Watson instead of Deathstroke.

A Game of Thrones style series would be the best way.

Most people dont seem to be watching it as a prequel, though. Which is a mistake. As a prequel, which is how it will be watched after the next 2 years, the lighter tone and less to lose will mean LotR will appear heavier and more serious, the way it does when you first read Shadows of the Past after having read the

Putting Coach on the Crazy People team would surely bring out the best in him. He could go full coach, and just lose his mind.

This is more how a prequel should be. It makes the LotR films better, and should work the way the book did, to be all innocent adventure with hints of darkness at the edges, that explodes in the second chapter of Fellowship, when things get real.  I thought they made the dwarfs look like a separate race from humans

Having just rewatched LotR after seeing The Hobbit, Galadriel seems to think that the journey has to be long and hard to get Frodo to the point where he realises that he will not make it back, so he can go through with destroying the ring. He knows how utterly evil and corrupt it is, and he has to love it so he can
